Chapter 394 Cloak
With a whoosh, a beam of red light hit the man, and he flew out and hit the wall heavily.
It was Professor Snape, and he was so fast this time.
Vader was a step slower, and his spell shattered the pool, and blood flowed all over the floor.
A white object flew out of the man's hand and rolled to the ground.
"What is that?"
Madam Pomfrey waved her wand and let the object fly over. After taking a look, she screamed unconsciously, the spell lost control, and the white object fell to the ground with a clang.
"Merlin..." Madam Pomfrey covered her chest, as if she was about to faint, and murmured in disbelief: "Death Eaters would not be so cruel."
Vader looked down.
It was the sphenoid bone.
He had seen pictures in the files in the archives before, but it was the first time he saw the real thing.
Professor Snape suddenly said, "Gray, if you want us to save that person, I think you overestimate the power of magic."
Wade followed his line of sight and saw that there was a familiar head with an unclear face on the conveyor belt, but the body part was missing.
Even with the most advanced magic, there is no way to revive a dead and dismembered person.
"No, not this person." Wade hurriedly said, "Follow me - the girl is here!"
He led the two professors and quickly passed through the picture book room and ran into the first operating room. He was surprised to see two people here.
A fat nurse was packing up various surgical instruments, and another man was holding a water pipe to wash the blood on the floor.
They saw several people who suddenly pushed the door in, and were about to ask in astonishment, but were immediately knocked down by a spell.
Entering the second operating room, Wade finally saw the person they were looking for.
The little girl was lying on the operating table, unconscious, and blood was flowing all over the floor along the operating table.
The nurses and doctors around her had no intention of stopping her bleeding, but carefully took out a still beating heart from her chest.
The people next to her had already prepared a box for transferring organs, exactly the same as the one Wade was holding.
"Asshole!"
Madam Pomfrey roared angrily, and with a slash of her wand, the violent magic almost exploded.
The people in surgical gowns all flew out, hit the wall heavily, cried and couldn't get up, and were hit by the coma spell again.
Professor Snape stretched out his wand in time, and an invisible line held the heart, allowing it to float steadily above the girl.
Then, he also found the girl's kidney in the box.
"I've never heard of such a thing!" Madam Pomfrey said with a trembling voice as she unfolded her medicine box: "It's simply... it's simply... the devil is not so bad!"
"This child can still be saved, Poppy." Snape comforted her: "Just focus on saving people, and leave the rest to me."
He gave all his precious potions to Madam Pomfrey, and then dragged all the people in the room out of the door with a levitation spell.
Before leaving, Snape turned to Wade and said, "Follow me."
"Yes, professor."
Wade responded and followed behind, seeing those people floating upright, banging their heads against the wall, and banging their bodies against the iron frame.
Soon, the room became quiet, with only Madam Pomfrey's magic flashing from time to time.
When passing the previous operating room, Wade saw the messy footprints and bloodstains on the ground, and thought of the boy who could not be saved, and sighed.
He waved his wand, and under the effect of the cleaning spell, all the messy traces on the ground disappeared.
Then, Wade threw away the box he had carried along the way, and put the organs inside together with the boy's head and the bone he picked up from the ground.
Professor Snape found an empty room, knocked those people unconscious, tied them up and threw them inside, and then the two of them searched the area separately, and found a few people who were sleeping, slacking off, and writing reports, and controlled them all.
"What will happen to them?" Wade asked.
"Azkaban will leave a place for them."
Professor Snape saw that Wade looked a little disapproving, and added: "Believe me, that's more terrible than death... and they won't live long in that place."
Wade nodded, and seeing that Professor Snape had no intention of killing these guys directly, he naturally wouldn't raise any objections.
He just dragged the man with glasses out again and asked, "Professor, do you have the truth serum?"
Snape looked at him deeply and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, we should interrogate this guy." Wade said naturally, "They must have many accomplices. This person seems to be of high status and should know more information."
Snape looked a little strange. After a pause, he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Leave it to me. You stay here and protect Poppy and the child."
"Okay." Wade said.
He was not at all confident about handing over the follow-up investigation to the Ministry of Magic, but if it was handed over to Professor Snape, there would be no problem.
Wade's straightforwardness made Snape stunned again. He looked at Wade, hesitated to speak, and finally took the man with glasses away silently.
Before, Snape also stepped on the blood on the ground when he went back and forth. After walking out, he left a string of red footprints at the door.
Wade looked at the footprints, and in a flash, several pictures flashed through his mind——
When I flew over with Mabel, there was a series of bloody footprints at the door.
Then what? What did they see before that?
A man was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground, with a pair of fallen glasses hanging in front of him.
Some people, with and without glasses, look like two different people.
Therefore, when Wade saw the bloody footprints, he suddenly remembered that he had seen the man with glasses taken away by Snape once before.
Thinking of the gunshot wound on the other person's forehead, Wade looked slightly solemn.
But Madam Pomfrey was still concentrating on treating Hayley, and Vader could not leave the two of them behind.
The last two demons with fighting ability were left to Hailey before time went back. Although Michal was powerful, his body made of flames could not stop cold shots.
It can instantly burn the shooter, but——
"You cannot change the history that has been noticed before."
This is the rule of reversing time.
If it really changes, it doesn't mean that the user of the time turner will die immediately or suffer misfortune. The Ministry of Magic only warns that it must not be done.
Vader suspected that this would be equivalent to creating a parallel time and space, and the user would also be left in the new time and space.
After thinking for a moment, Vader took off the wire cloak he had been wearing, and softly recited a spell he was familiar with. Rays of light fell on the cloak.
After a moment, the wire cloak "stood" up, took two wobbly steps, then spread out and slid for a short distance, and then jumped back to Vader.
Because copper and silver were used in the production, after the magic was applied, the cloak looked sparkling, just like the celestial garment woven by sunlight and moonlight in fairy tales.
So Vader cast another Disillusionment Spell on it, and the cloak turned into the same color as the surrounding environment, and its outline was vaguely visible.
It suddenly bent its hood and started spinning in circles, just like a puppy looking for its tail.
"Stop playing." Vader tapped his cloak with his wand and said, "You know what I want you to do."
The cloak imbued with Vader's thoughts immediately straightened its posture, nodded, and flew out in the direction where Professor Snape left with a whoosh.
As for Vader who stayed behind, he frowned and looked around, and with a wave of his wand, everything turned into what he had seen before.
…
Snape didn't know that the students behind him were worried about their safety, but he was also thinking about Vader at this time.
Sometimes, he felt that he could see the shadow of the Dark Lord in Vader, even more ruthless and cold than that person.
Although he himself had not experienced Voldemort when he was young, through Vader, Snape could fully imagine what kind of outstanding and cold-blooded young man he was.
But soon, he felt that these were all his illusions, and Wade was still the smart and upright student.
He told himself, young people, that it is normal to shout and kill because of a moment of anger, especially teenage boys, who do not understand the preciousness of life at all, and are more likely to talk about death.
Just like himself, when he was young, he cursed James Potter and the four people to die early every day, and sincerely hoped that those people would die miserably in his hands.
Of course, the hatred has not subsided until now.
Later, when he joined the Death Eaters, Snape didn't feel much when he saw his companions killing people - he wouldn't be as excited and revelry as Bellatrix, nor would he feel disgusted and conflicted.
Snape once longed to win the favor of the Dark Lord, climb to a higher position and gain greater power.
Until that day... until he saw the person he loved most turned into a cold corpse...
The Potions Master squeezed his eyes shut, freeing his mind from the painful memory.
He knew that Vader from the original timeline would arrive at this place soon. In order to avoid interference, Snape took the man with glasses away for a while, found a secluded place, and then dropped the veritaserum into his mouth. .
The man with glasses opened his eyes drowsily, his expression empty and dazed.
"Tell me." Snape asked softly: "What are you doing here? Who is the mastermind behind it?"
"I...we are conducting research on gene editing...exploring the feasibility of allowing humans to obtain magical genes...obtaining the secret of wizards' longevity..."
Snape was stunned for a moment. This answer was something he had not expected and could not understand.
"What is gene editing?" Snape asked.
The man with glasses said in a flat tone: "This is a revolutionary biotechnology that has only been proposed in recent years. It uses gene editing tools to modify specific targets in the genome of organisms, and achieves genome insertion and replacement efficiently and accurately, thus Can change the genetic information of an organism."
"Most of the genes of humans and wizards are the same. We believe that the reason why ordinary people cannot use magic is because some genes in the body are not activated."
"As long as this part of the magic gene can be locked, even ordinary people can transform into wizards. Even if there is no magic gene, it may be possible to achieve replacement and recombination in future generations..."
Snape: "..."
He decided to skip the parts he didn't understand, interrupted the man with glasses, and asked the question directly: "Who asked you to do this?"
"It's the leader."
"Who is the leader? What is his name? Where can I find him?"
"I...I don't know...the leader never appears in front of us..."
"Then how does he deliver the order?"
"Send an email."
Snape took a deep breath: "Tell me everything you know...for example, who is the chief messenger of this island?"
The bespectacled man's eyelids trembled and he was confused for a moment before he said, "Of course it's Zeke."
"Tell me about this Zeke..."
Before Snape finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked behind him.
Something was flying towards him through the wind. It was an...invisible cloak?
During the flight, the effect of the Disillusionment Curse was not obvious. Snape could clearly see the outline of the cloak, and even recognized it from the size as the one Vader had just put on his body.
Snape was stunned for a moment. He saw the cloak rushing towards him. He didn't know whether to dodge or catch it. After a moment of hesitation, the cloak was directly covering his body.
The cloak moved nimbly, wrapping Snape in an almost hugging gesture.
Due to the length, Snape's upper body became looming, but his calves were still exposed, which looked a bit scary.
The bespectacled man whose mind was controlled by Veritaserum was not disturbed. His eyelids trembled and he began to answer questions.
"Zeke... Zeke is a close confidant of the top management. I heard that he was sent to this place because he offended the wizards in the organization... He doesn't understand technology at all and is moody. He only feels better if he gives money..."
Snape tried to pull off the cloak to no avail, and only tore the hood off his face, but his ears keenly captured the key information——
"The wizard of the organization? There are still wizards in your organization?"
"Of course! They are..."
"Bang! Bang!"
Before the man with glasses could finish speaking, a bullet pierced his forehead.
He fell straight back and hit the wall with a thud. His glasses fell off, his mouth opened wide, and blood flowed down his nose.
Another bullet hit Snape's forehead, but was blocked by the hood of his cloak that was raised in time.
Snape staggered back two steps, turned his wand and quickly cast a complete disillusionment spell on himself, hiding himself together with his cloak.
Only then did he realize what had just happened.
The invisible wizard quietly left his place and stood at the corner of the wall on the other side. Then he saw a group of fully armed soldiers protecting a man and a woman walking over quickly.
"Who is that guy talking to?" the ponytailed man said angrily, "Who did he leak the secret to?"
The two soldiers quickly and vigilantly trotted over to the bespectacled man's body, inspected it, and fired several shots into the surrounding open space, breaking the glass and light bulbs.
"Report, no one."
"She should have escaped." The woman in red frowned and said, "Is Upton a traitor?"
"Definitely! Didn't you see that he was meeting someone just now?"
Zeke, the pony-tailed man, was angry with a hint of relief, and couldn't wait to push away the responsibility for the base's fall.
"No wonder we have set up so many measures to prevent wizards, but people still sneak in and destroy it - it's because an insider leaked all our defense arrangements and attracted foreign enemies!"
Veronica, the woman in red, nodded noncommittally, frowned and said, "Upton is here, then...the organs we want over there..."
"Don't worry about that!" Zeke said decisively: "The magnetic field has been destroyed, it is important to escape now. Tell the people in the research room to hurry up, I will wait for them for five more minutes at most!"
Several people hurriedly ran upstairs, and some people pressed their earphones to convey orders.
Snape watched silently, and after they ran out of this corridor, he floated up and followed them.
He once learned flying skills from Voldemort. Even without a broomstick, Snape could make himself fly.
Several people left the corridor, and complete silence returned to the surroundings.
Soon after, the Firebolt carried Vader and Maybelle and passed through quickly.
